NAME
  ttrm - remove files or directories and inform the ToolTalk service

SYNOPSIS
  ttrm [-frL] pathname ...

  ttrm -h | -v

DESCRIPTION
  The ttrm utility invokes rm(1) to remove files and directories and informs
  ToolTalk about its actions so that the ToolTalk objects associated with the
  deleted files and directories can also be deleted.

  The ttrm utility removes the ToolTalk objects before it removes the files
  and does not check whether the file-removing operation will succeed before
  performing the object-removing operation.

OPTIONS
  The following options are available:

  -f	Force.	Do not report any errors, and pass the -f option to rm(1).

  -h	Write a help message for invoking ttrm and then exit.

  -L	Remove the ToolTalk objects of the files or directories, but do not
	invoke rm(1) to remove the actual files or directories.

  -r	Recursively remove the ToolTalk objects of any directories named,
	along with their files (including any subdirectories and their
	files), and pass the -r option to rm(1).

  -v	Write the version number of ttrm and then exit.

  The -i or -R options to rm(1) are not supported.

OPERANDS
  The following operand is supported:

  pathname
	A pathname of a file to be removed.

STDIN
  Not used.



INPUT FILES
  The input files specified as operands can be of any file type.



ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
  The following environment variables affect the execution of ttrm:

  LANG		 Provide a default value for the internationalization
		 variables that are unset or null.  If LANG is unset or null,
		 the corresponding value from the implementation-specific
		 default locale will be used.  If any of the
		 internationalization variables contains an invalid setting,
		 the utility behaves as if none of the variables had been
		 defined.

  LC_ALL	 If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of
		 all the other internationalization variables.

  LC_MESSAGES	 Determine the locale that is used to affect the format and
		 contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error
		 and informative messages written to standard output.

  NLSPATH	 Determine the location of message catalogues for the
		 processing of LC_MESSAGES.

RESOURCES
  None.

ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
  The ttrm utility takes the standard action for all signals.

STDOUT
  When the -h option is used, ttrm writes to standard output a help message
  in an unspecified format.

  When the -v option is used, ttrm writes to standard output a version number
  in an unspecified format.

STDERR
  Used only for diagnostic messages.

OUTPUT FILES
  None.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
  None.

EXIT STATUS
  The following exit values are returned:

  0   All files and ToolTalk objects were removed successfully.

  >0  An error occurred or the invoked rm(1) command exited with a non-zero
      value.
